Kayaking on a Glacier Lake

---

A few days ago we headed to Valdez, Ak. Yes, we all know what happened in Valdez... It is the terminus of the Alaska pipeline that starts in Purdhoe Bay. There is not really much to do in Valdez. But, we went because we heard of a cool kayak tour. We kayaked on the Valdez Glacier Lake. There was just the tour guide and us. We kayaked on the glacier lake, into ice caves and walked on the Glacier. The photos can not really show the immensity of the glacier, cracks, caves and puddles. The ice was crystal clear and the melted water was turquoise blue. It was an incredible experience. I really likes the kayak and I might try it some more when get back to Big Bear.
That evening I was walking over to the bathrooms when a Bald Eagle swooped down right in front of me. He had somethng in his talons. All of a sudden 3 more Eagles came out of the trees and tried to steal his catch. It was very exciting! They were within a few feet of me!
